I believe that as long as your staff have access to the Inventory tab on the left hand side of SMV, they should be able to enter inventory. All of my staff, including myself, did not have access to Inventory or Clinic Tools when we first logged into the new system. This was corrected after a phone call and now we all have access. Two of us entered all of the storage units and data loggers as well as connect the calibration certificates. Two staff have been entering our on hand inventory this afternoon. I don’t believe that you need to approve it as long as they have access to the correct sections under their username. We are just entering the information under “Add New Inventory” under the “On Hand” “Inventory” Once you enter your inventory into the system, it should filter which are on hand, depleted/expired or expiring soon.
This is what we are doing. We will adjust if we find out that we need to do something differently.
Hope this helps,
